Did you miss the Suburban Home Records Anniversary Party this year? So did I. Having made the last two it was especially hard for me, knowing exactly what I was missing and all. Luckily, Denver music scene chronicler extraordinaire, SxPxDxCx of That's The Thing About That did not miss it and he ran tape on the entire weekend. While it's not the same as being there, I do plan on pouring a tall glass of whiskey tonight and listening to this compilation loud enough to make the neighbors complain. If you're [...]

Also, fuck all the [...]

On one side you've got a line that can be drawn from The Replacements to Soul Asylum to Lifter Puller and The Hold Steady and on the other side from the likes of Dillinger Four to groups like Off With Their Heads and Banner Pilot. Then there are bands like The Evening Rig that, featuring former members of The Crush, Cadillac Blindside (a band the wifey and I liked a whole lot), and The Cardinal Sin but sounding [...]
